The EPA, governed by unelected bureaucrats, has been used by radical liberals to cripple entire industries that don’t fit the Green New Deal Ideology. But, no More.
In a 6-3 decision on June 30, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot legislate overarching regulations that might crush entire industries without congressional approval.
The EPA doesn’t have this kind of authority. They must have a clear delegation order from Congress and can not wilily-nilly burden industries down with agency regulations.
This may be the most significant ruling on the Supreme Court in 2022.
For example, the Court ruled the Obama Administration’s 2015 Clean Power Act sought to overhaul the coal and gas industry by shutting down carbon emissions at power plants by implementing a shift from coal usage to natural gas and finally to wind and solar energy was not within the restraints of the Constitution.
The EPA bureaucrats will moan and groan at this loss of power, but it was the right thing to do because agencies must stay within the rule of law and not use the color of law to expand power over the People.
This is a good day for the Constitution!!
